Good morning and welcome to the first day of our October Sneak Peeks! I can hardly believe it’s October already! I’ve been super excited to share our holiday stamps with you and the time has finally come. Although I must admit that I’m not quite ready for winter to come. Brrrrr!

And now for the sneak peeks! Today the Baker’s Dozen and I are featuring a new stamp set that’s part of our Apple Doodle Ink collection illustrated by Doug Applegate. The set is called Woodland Winter and has the cutest little holiday woodland critters. I started by stamping the deer in Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Then I masked the deer and stamped the trees behind. I colored the images with Copics and added Crystal Stickles to the knots in the tree trunks and white enamel accents to the santa hat. Today we’re also featuring Banner Holidays which includes 15 holiday sentiments to coordinate with the previously released It’s a Banner Day 1, 2, and 3 stamp sets. The polka dot frame is from It’s a Banner Day 1 and then I added the ‘Across the Miles’ sentiment from Banner Holidays and cut it out with the Banner Day 1 die.
On my second card, I used the present image and a sentiment from Woodland Winter, to accent the holiday tree that I made with our new Trim the Tree die set. The tree came together really easily and it was super fun to pick the different patterns for each layer. The full tree die in this set also coordinates with the Christmas tree stamp image in the Woodland Winter set. Here’s a peek at the die set that I used:
All of the supplies on my cards are from the 12 Days of Christmas Basic Recipe Kit, one of the two holiday kits we’re introducing this month! Here are all the details on the kits:
